"Some nice improvements"
3 stars"

You can tell this game is directly built on the Rugby 05 match engine. No major overhaul. The most obvious new feature is the ability to offload, or pop up the ball, as soon as you hit the ground, avoiding the ruck. High tackles are also penalised now, and player movement after being hit high is a bit more animated. Grant Fox is the new addition to the commentator team. There is a new Madden-style tutorial to the game. The biggest change in gameplay is that it is harder to retrieve ball in the ruck, and those sniping runs by the halfback around the fringes of is not as easy as 05. There is an obvious improvement in the graphics department, and less in the gameplay department. The Menu interface has changed, and player's height and weight is now displayed in their profile, you will also be warned if you place players out of position. I rate is 3 out of 5 compared to other sports games like Madden and Fifa. Compared to previous Rugby games I would give it 5 out of 5.
